Prince Charles's alleged lovechild

[Applemayjune]

Did you see the story in the news that a man in Australia has said that he is Prince Charles 's and Camilla's lovechild. Apparently security are watching him as he said that he is going to try to go and see them

This is lighthearted, so don't come at me. It's just in the news today, and was wondering what are your thoughts?

Hasn't he been claiming that for years?

Mental health is no joke even though the story does sound amusing

I’ve been following him for awhile. He certainly does have a strong resemblance to both Charles and Camilla. He often posts comparison photos of himself at certain ages with different royals. He looks remarkably like prince philip too. His daughter is the spitting image of charlotte.

it does seem plausible. Apparently his grandparents worked at Buckingham palace and he was born when Charles was sent to Australia for a few months and apparently Camilla disappeared from public eye for several months.

who knows though?

Who cares?

How is this lighthearted?

Oh, he's popped up again. He's 58 - Charles and Camilla hadn't even met when he was born. 🙄

I find it amusing op

I'd say that in itself ruins any 'credibility" his ridiculous story has

In that I don't definitely think it's true. As I would definitely get called a loon if I said that. So I wanted to clarify

It's just an interesting news story to discuss

He said that he argues that point. That he was told they actually met five years earlier.

He does look like him I have to say!

Yeah it's not beyond the realm of possibility.

Wouldn't DNA from both his parents or other relatives of his prove what is what?

@Edingril he's adopted, his parents wouldn't match him

OK thanks

I don’t think he looks anything like either of them… he looks like a typical middle aged Crocodile Dundee Ausi to me - the type straight out of Kath and Kim. No aristo blood there whatsoever. Cool story though.

He’s been making headlines for years. He’s taken the case to court many times as well. I don’t know why they don’t just do the DNA test to prove it one way or another.

He said that his grandmother told him on her death bed, that he was Camilla and Charles child.

I mean it could have happened. For sure.

But there's not any evidence besides one woman telling him that.

He’s got a chance. A spare child might come useful for Charles in today’s situation (no hope for Harry coming back) e.g for visiting ceremonial events on Australian side of the globe.

Ha, maybe that's why they kept King Charles visit to Australia so quiet. Scared of the love child coming up. Got quite a shock today to see King Charles has arrived in Australia, felt like that is something that would have been more talked about before. I can't find anyone that even knew he was coming!

Apparently the archbishop of Canterbury said that Charles and camilla met when they were teenagers.

So that was before when most people thought they met

My dad is Morph and my mam is either Liza Tarbuck, Jo Brand or Daisy May Cooper. She might have been an emu.

I forget. I’m 93.

We can all state whatever we like. Doesn’t make it true.

And it doesn’t stop folk believing pish. Bless them.

I’ve just googled him. There are similarities and as a youngster he does kind of look a bit Camillarish and not completely unlike Tom Parker Bowles. I haven’t read the background story so can’t comment on the likelihood but just going by looks it’s not beyond the realms of possibility.

Even if it was true he’d never be made heir. I’ve just read a bit more and it seems he’s only going by his grandmother’s death bed ‘confession’. Although why she would know (if he’s been adopted so his gm is not blood related) I’m not sure.

He was adopted by a couple.

Their grandparents worked for the royal family.

Apparently his grandmother told him on her death bed that he was charles and camillas child.

That's all the evidence really.

Evidence?

He's been saying that for years.

He picks photos where he thinks they show similarity, but imo they're no more than you'd get if you picked two random people and put them in similar poses. I mean they both have two eyes, a nose and a mouth, along with the majority of the population.

I thought a couple of years ago he went for a DNA test which he was sure was going to give him results to show it was "very likely true". On the basis I don't think I've heard about him since then, I assume they weren't what he wanted.
